Dealing with Debt Collectors
If you ignore attempts to contact you and they file a lawsuit to collect the debt, take it seriously. Not responding to a properly served lawsuit – even if unsure whether you owe the debt – can result in the court issuing a judgment against you.
Consequences of Ignoring Debt Collectors
Ignoring or avoiding the debt collector may cause using other methods to collect the debt, including a lawsuit. If unable to come to an agreement with a debt collector, contact an attorney for legal advice.
Responding to Debt Collectors
Don’t just ignore a debt collector, but don’t let them run your life either. Just as legally have obligation to eventually pay back debt, collectors have rules by which must operate. Violations of rights can lead to compensation.
